Today, I had to cancel all of the plans to go away on a romantic weekend with my boyfriend. My parents are going out of town for a night and I have to stay home a babysit my little sister. She's 19. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, instead of going to a romantic dinner with my boyfriend like I'd planned, I ended up babysitting his queasy little sister. FML
Today, it was supposed to be date night but my sister's husband was taken to hospital, so I agreed to to babysit my nieces. My boyfriend went out drinking by himself because, “it’s not his fault I have nieces and can’t say no to my sister, so why should his night be ruined?” FML
Today, my mom tried to force me to stay home from work to babysit my sister and her “boyfriend”. I snuck out and went to work anyway, because I hate being around them. FML
Today, to celebrate my older sister's 21st birthday, my parents forced me to take the night off work so we could all go to the casino. Not only is this coming out of my vacation, I wasn't old enough to enter the casino, so I had to sit in the car. FML
Today, my mom left me at home with a babysitter. I'm 17. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML
Today, it was our first kid-free weekend in almost two months, and I was hoping for a nice date night. Instead, she picked up two shifts at work and then had a girls' night. Don't worry, she assigned me a massive deep clean that ate up almost my entire weekend. FML
Today, my fiancé left to take care of his little sister who lives alone and recently got COVID-19. To be cautious, he will remain there for weeks until he tests negative. Feeling lonely, I texted my mom for comfort. She immediately canceled our engagement party this summer instead. FML
Today, my dad and stepmom insisted on having a babysitter stay with me while they go off on their 3-week vacation. I'm 22 and work full-time. FML
Today, I got a call from a girl I know, asking if I could babysit her little brother at my house tonight. I said yes. When the boy came over, he mentioned that his sister was having a party and didn't want him there. Turns out all my friends were invited except me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're obviously an adult, since your little sister is 19. YDI for not just saying "no, I have plans." Don't blame others because you lack a spine.

Obviously... It's not like a 19 year old can sustain life for 24 hours on her own... That's unheard of...

I saw this one come through moderation and the sister was 21 first. So unless she's disabled somehow, I'm still thinking this is highly unlikely.

If the sister is disabled/challenged/whatever then it's not an FML, it's a YDI for being a crappy sister.

I think she is old enough to stay home alone so just ditch her or get her a date. btw what does YDI mean?

What if her sister is handicapped?

The age IS relevant if she's handicapped. She's 19 and needs babysitting. Sounds more FMLish than "my handicapped sister"

YDI for not being on your own with a younger sister who is 19. If you are still living in their house, you live by their rules.

The solution is painfully obvious. SAY NO and go on your romantic getaway that you have had planned. If you actually stay home, then YDI for being too weak to stand up for yourself

Maybe they're just saying that cause they dont like your bf and the dont want you to fo on the trip with him... either way YDI if your just going to give into your parents like that
